Macro Call Using a G Code 

 
By setting a G code number used to call a macro program in a 
parameter, the macro program can be called in the same way as for a 
simple call (G65).

Explanation 

By setting a G code number from -9999 to 9999 used to call a custom 
macro program (O9010 to O9019) in the corresponding parameter 
(No.6050 to No.6059), the macro program can be called in the same 
way as with G65.    To call custom macro program O9040 to O9049 
using a G code with a decimal point, set bit 0 (DPG) of parameter No. 
6007 to 1 and set the G code number in the corresponding parameter 
(Nos. 6060 to 6069). 
The number of decimal places of a G code is 1.  Set the value 
obtained by multiplying a desired G code number by 10 in the 
corresponding parameter. 

[Example]  When parameter No. 6060 is set to 234, custom macro program 

O9040 is called using G23.4. 

 
When a negative G code is set, a modal call is performed.  In this 
case, bit 3 (MGE) of parameter No. 6007 can be set to select the G66 
or G66.1 mode. 
For example, when a parameter is set so that macro program O9010 
can be called with G81, a user-specific cycle created using a custom 
macro can be called without modifying the machining program.

 - Repetition 

As with a simple call, a number of repetitions from 1 to 999999999 
can be specified at address L.

available:  Argument specification I and argument specification II.  
The type of argument specification is determined automatically 
according to the addresses used.

Macro Call Using a G Code (Specification of Multiple 

Definitions) 

 
By setting the starting G code number used to call a macro program, 
the number of the starting program to be called, and the number of 
definitions, macro calls using multiple G codes can be defined. 
 

Explanation 

As many custom macros as the number specified in parameter No. 
6040 can be called using as many G codes as the number specified in 
parameter No. 6040.    The numeric value set in parameter No. 6038 
indicates the starting G code number and the program number set in 
parameter No. 6039 indicates the starting program number.  To 
disable this type of call, set 0 in parameter No. 6040. 
When a negative G code is set in parameter No. 6038, modal calls are 
performed.    In this case, bit 3 (MGE) of parameter No. 6007 can be 
set to select the G66 or G66.1 mode. 
The number of repetitions and argument specification are set in the 
same way as with a macro call using a G code. 

[Example] 

Set parameter No. 6038 to 900, parameter No. 6039 to 10000000, and 
parameter No. 6040 to 100.

Custom macro calls (simple calls) for 100 combinations are defined as 
shown above.    When parameter No. 6038 is changed to -900, custom 
macro calls (modal calls) for the same combinations are defined. 
 

NOTE 

1  The calls defined by this setting become all invalid 

in the following cases: 

<1>  A value outside the valid data range is set in 

one of the above parameters. 

<2>  (No. 6039 + No. 6040 - 1) > 99999999 

2  Simple and modal calls cannot be mixed in the 

specification. 

3  If the G code set in parameter Nos. 6050 to 6059 

to call the corresponding macro program is within 
the G code range for calling programs using 
multiple G codes, the macro program 
corresponding to the G code set in parameter Nos. 
6050 to 6059 is called.

Macro Call Using a G Code with a Decimal Point 

(Specification of Multiple Definitions) 

 
When bit 0 (DPG) of parameter No. 6007, by setting the starting G 
code number with a decimal point used to call a macro program, the 
number of the starting program to be called, and the number of 
definitions, multiple macro calls using multiple G codes with a 
decimal point can be defined. 
 

Explanation 

As many custom macros as the number specified in parameter No. 
6043 can be called using as many G codes with a decimal point as the 
number specified in parameter No. 6043.    The numeric value set in 
parameter No. 6041 indicates the starting G code number with a 
decimal point and the program number set in parameter No. 6042 
indicates the starting program number.    To disable this type of call, 
set 0 in parameter No. 6043. 
When a negative G code is set in parameter No. 6041, modal calls are 
performed.    In this case, bit 3 (MGE) of parameter No. 6007 can be 
set to select the G66 or G66.1 mode. 
The number of repetitions and argument specification are set in the 
same way as with a macro call using a G code. 

[Example] 

Set parameter No. 6041 to 900, parameter No. 6042 to 2000, and 
parameter No. 6043 to 100.
